Premium Tour Gothic Quarter
2,000 years of history in two hours, from the Roman wall to Santa Maria del Mar.
We start at Plaça Catalunya and head into the old town to discover the essence of Barcelona: iconic spots and hidden corners of the Gothic Quarter, the Roman wall and El Born.
Through stories, legends and curiosities you'll understand the city from the inside: why El Call was one of the most important Jewish quarters in Europe, what's hidden in Plaça de Sant Felip Neri, or why Santa Maria del Mar stirs such passion.
A walk designed both for first-timers and for those who want to rediscover Barcelona with fresh eyes. Small groups, no megaphones, with the pink umbrella always leading the way.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay for the free tour?+
You book for free and at the end you decide what to contribute based on how much you enjoyed it. The average tip is €15–20 per person, but it's entirely voluntary.
How do I recognise you at the meeting point?+
Look for Barkeno's pink umbrella in front of the Urban Outfitters store. It's our trademark — impossible to miss us.
Are there radio guides?+
Yes, we offer optional radio guides for €1.5 per person so you don't miss a single detail, especially in larger groups.
What if we come as a big group?+
For groups of 6 or more we ask for a minimum of €15 per person or, better still, booking a private tour tailored to you.
